Audrey Hepburn in WWII

Summary Nearly three decades after her passing, Audrey Hepburn remains one of the most beloved of all Hollywood stars, known for films like Sabrina, Roman Holiday and Breakfast at Tiffany's. Our special guest is author Robert Matzen who wrote Dutch Girl about Audrey's early life and will talk about Audrey's war. He has also written books on Carole Lombard and Jimmy Stewart and frequently appears on TV and in other media. "The war made my mother who she was." said Audrey's son Luca Dotti. Audrey Hepburn's war included participation in the Dutch Resistance, working as a doctor's assistant during the battle of Arnhem, the brutal execution of her uncle, and the ordeal of the Hunger Winter of 1944. She also had to contend with the fact that her father was a Nazi agent and her mother was pro-Nazi for the first two years of the occupation. But the war years also brought triumphs as Audrey became Arnhem's most famous young ballerina. We will talk about all this and more during the show.
